Fifteen years ago, I gave my dad a ride in “Aluminum Overcast” as a present for his 73rd birthday. (He had been a big fan of the Flying Fortress since he was a kid.) Unfortunately, I can’t recall, or trace down in my records, how much I paid. Expensive enough that I didn’t go with him! I got to climb inside after the flight and take some pictures, including one of him in the cockpit.
More than a million rivets in a rather loose formation was known as a C-124 Globermaster.
Any of you young pups ever fly, work on, side door jump, ride in one of these?
